A 54yearold man in massachusetts is dead this morning after apparently eating too much of a certain kind of candy. The man, a construction worker, had been eating more than a bag of licorice every day for weeks. Heres abcs andrea fujii. Reporter this morning, a new warning about a popular candy after one mans affinity for black licorice may have cost him his life. Remember, dont eat large amounts of black licorice at one time. Reporter according to doctors in massachusetts, a construction worker who ate bags of licorice every day collapsed at a restaurant and died. The cause, an imbalance in nutrient levels. Licorice when consumed in large quantities can lead to a low potassium level, which can lead to heart rhythm problems and lead to cardiac arrest, as in this case. Reporter weeks before his death, doctors say the 54yearold switched from red licorice to black. The deadly difference came down to a compound called glycyrrhizin, a sweetener used only in black licorice. Officials acknowledge this mans death is an extreme case, but this doctor who treated the man in the hospital says for some people, even small amounts of the candy can add up over time. Even consumed in smaller quantities, licorice can lead to slight increases in Blood Pressure, which if you have underlying high Blood Pressure or heart rhythm problems can lead to longterm heart problems. Reporter the compound can be found in some teas, beers, and other soft candy. The maker of the popular twizzlers licorice tells abc news, all of our products are safe to eat and formulated in full compliance with fda regulations. All foods, including confectionary, should be enjoyed in moderation and as part of a complete and balanced diet. The exact amount of this compound isnt disclosed on packaging, but fda officials warn eating as little as 2 ounces of black licorice every day for two weeks can cause heart rhythm problems.
